In an attempt to break free some of the booty you locals liberated from the gaming show last week, I'm showing some of the samples I have for trade or sale. These include chips from Chipco, Bud Jones, Bill Borland, Langworthy, Paul-son, Sisk, and Christy and Jones.

Not being in the gaming industry or local to Las Vegas, most of the samples I have were purchased, either from collectors or from the maker. Despite what you may have heard, some manufacturers are happy to sell samples.

I have over a hundred other H&C samples, color pieces, insert demonstrations, etc., so if you don't see what you need, let me know what you're looking for. A few of the chips in the pic are quite hard to find (like the 5000 red C&J) and I'm asking more than one chip in return. Flexibility is the name of the trading game, though.

I have no problem selling samples, as these were not gifts to me. If you like what you see and have nothing to trade, let me know and we will work something out.

By the way, one or two complete color-matching sets are available for Paul-son traditional and metallic-color chips. I also have a few roulette-mold color samples.
